What type of transmission fluids required for Mitsubishi Eclipse? I used some transmission fluids from O'Reily, Advance Auto and Amsoil and it appears all these fluids won't work.
I was told by the dealership that the proper transmission fluids could only be purchased from the dealership? And this was more then likely why my transmission failed over and over again. Also the last time the transmission failed it was also mention the fluid was 1 quart too much. Even the replacement transmission failed after 3 months.
According this left over O Reilly Global ATF bottle it states - Mitsubishi - Dexron II, ATF+3, Diamond SP-III
This was the transmission Fluid I was provided in the O Reilly store that was suppose to work.
I drive a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT --- All my problems started with a transmission flush. I have went through 2 transmission now of them worked.

Marion, Check links below for proper transmission fluid to use in your application. Warning on the use of incorrect transmission fluids.

Many people are using the incorrect specification in auto transmission systems requiring Dia Queen SP III transmission fluids, this is due to confusion arising from the fact that many people believe DEXRON III is suitable, IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MITSUBISHI AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS requiring SP III.
You can go to amsoil.com and go to product applications. In there you can type in your vehicle year and make and it will tell you what kind of fluid to use and how much it will take to fill it.
Transmission may be low on transmission fluid or the transmission fluid pump failed. If it's electrical, you can still get it in to gear, but would not shift gears. Good luck and keep me posted, check transmission fluid level and have the transmission line pressure tested. Before that check all your fuses.
Hi, most auto transmissions use DextronII or III if it requires a speciality mineral oil then the dipstick or a warning will be shown in that area. To confirm your thoughts your local parts supplier will have all the details of fluid capacities and grades/viscosities on file he or she will be glad to provide you with these. If still unsure or worried? Mitsubishi website www.mitsubishi.com will gleen an abundance of service tips and details. Good luck! Paul 'W' Onyer~EDson(:0)~[><U.K.
Manual transmissions and transaxles require light viscosity and low pressure fortified oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) has advanced additive technology that provides proper friction characteristics for smooth shifting without grinding. It also provides excellent bearing and gear protection. AMSOIL Synchromesh Transmission Fluid provides superior protection for manual transmissions copared to conventional lubricants, lasting up to four times longer under real road conditions
